Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!!

Dear Bhagavathas,

Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya swamy of Kanchipuram, who is the trustee of
Thooppul Vedantha Desikar Charitable Trust has forwarded the following
appeal to the internet fraternity requesting participation in the
Nityaradhana kainkaryam for Thuppul Deshikan and Marakathavalli Nayika
sametha Sri Deepaprakasha Perumal at the temple in Thuppul Kanchipuram. (All
translation errors are adiyen's).

============================================================================
====
- From Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya -

Swamy Deshikan, in the Shastriya Niyamanadhikaram of his Srimath
Rahasyatrayasaram, elucidates that kainkaryams are twofold - Ajna kaikaryam
and Anujna kainkaryam. Ajna kainkaryams are ordained duties that must be
performed without fail and with no desire for the fruits thereof. Anujna
kainkaryam may be performed seeking a specific fruit or goal. "AjnAnujnA
vibhAgena dvidhAshAstrIyapaddhati:" is the kaarikai elucidated by Swamy that
states that even Anujna kainkaryam need to be performed as per the
prescribed tenets and shastraic doctrines. It should not be performed as per
one's own whims and fancies. "anujnA pravruttEpi ... duratyaya:" These
tenets should not be transgressed. It is for this reason that everybody
cannot perform Thiruvaradhanam at temples. This is therefore done by the
archakars who are invested with the rights to perform such kainkaryams. It
is by supporting them that we should chose to perform these kanikaryams. 

Nityaradhanam is deemed as Ajna kainkaryam. The same may also be performed
as Anujna kainkaryam. "yAvajjIvamagnihotram juhoti" - One performs the
Agnihotram everyday as per the doctrines of the imperial Vedas. "agnihotram
juhuyAt svargakAma:" - Out of desire for attaining heaven, one performs the
agnihotram sacrifice. For such an aspirant, there arises now a question as
to whether Agnihotram need to be performed once or twice a day. If
Nityakarmas and Kamyakarmas are performed together in one onservance and
though Kamyakarma has been performed seeking a fruit, the combined
observance also implies the completion of Nityakarmam. "kAmyAnnityasiddhi:"
- Nityakarma will also attain fruition though performed along with
Kamyakarma. But with the observance of Nityakarma alone, one is not
guaranteed the attainment of heaven or other fruits. These may be achieved
only by means of performing a specific kamya karmam. The performer of
Nityakarmam is not an adhikari (authority) to receive the fruits of its
observance. Fruits of observance therefore, are not attained by performers
of Nityakarmam and may be obtained only by performing a specific kainkaryam
with phala sankalpam. 

In a similar way, Nityaradhanam at the temples is an Ajna kaikaryam. Some
devotees chose to support this kainkaryam seeking opulence of wealth and
prosperity and choose the kainkaryams to be performed on days of their
marriage or star etc. Some do it in the name of brahmana bhojanam or
tadeeyaaradhanam to acquire some merit for their deeds. If these noble souls
choose to participate in this Nityaradhana kainkaryam, then as part of this
Aradhanam, food is offered to the Lord first as nivedanam. It is then
distributed as annadanam to the archakars and devotees who are bhagavathas.
Thus it accomplishes brahmana bhojanam and tadIyArAdhanam. It is not
necessary to prepare separate culinaries for brahmana bhojanam and
tadIyArAdhanam. Though devotees may be performing this kainkaryam seeking
fruits, in this case, it also amounts to the fulfillment of nityakarmam.
Devotees may participate in this kainkaryam in the name of nityaradhanam,
tadIyArAdhanam or seeking specific fruits for them. But the end result is
the smooth conduct of the Nityaradhanam of Swamy Deshikan and Marakathavalli
Nayika sametha Deepaprakasha Perumal.

To be contd ...
